Got to finally get to an indoor 5 spot round Saturday.
I haven't been able to shoot much the past 3 weeks due to the weather and the dry firing and getting my bow set up again. I tend to lose strength fast if I don't get to shoot every day.
I've also been nursing a bad back and that morning I said I wasn't gonna go. Felt a little better that evening so I decided I would go. I did ok with the back as long as I didn't sit down between ends. Luckily there was enough shooters for two lines so I got to rest a little between ends. I was shooting my Deer Crossing Archery Full Caliber arrows for the first time. I've never shot the large diameter shafts before but after shooting them I really like them.
My first arrow was a 4. Shot good up through the 7th end. While I was waiting I told my wife I wasn't doing too bad as long as I didn't do something stupid. Then I did something stupid! I dropped an arrow on the line and it bounced just out of reach so I had to take a zero on that one. And yes, Full Calibers will bounce quite well if you drop one. Lol.
Shot another 4 in the final end. I was pretty fatigued by then and bumped my button struggling to draw my bow. How I even hit the target is beyond me but I got lucky. I think I'm gonna have to get a bow with less peak weight because locally it's not often they'll have enough shooters for two lines. If they had only enough for one line I likely wouldn't have been able to get through the complete round.
Anyway, had a great time and was a lot of fun getting back on the line and competing with the young guys. Ended up with 293-40X. I was pleased with my score other than the first arrow. The dropped arrow and the 4 in the last end had nothing to do with my form and execution.
You did very well friend! My bows are staring at me every day. I haven't been able to shoot mine in a long time. It's kinda depressing but there is no indoor range near me and all I can do is work so I won't be homeless. so I'm stuck waiting. It is what it is. It'll all work out in the end. I'm happy for you! Once again good job Bobby!
Part of doing well at anything is knowing your capabilities and figuring out how to best work with them. It sounds like you’re very self aware and able to make things work for you. I’m a lifelong learner, which means constant change, so I get it.
